Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 13, 1915.

Application filed April 5, 1915. Serial No. 19,101.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN F. MISER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Canton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, haveinvented a new and useful Curtain-I-Iolding Bracket, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to curtain holding brackets, and the object of theinvention is to provide a bracket adapted to hold the lower portion of acurtain to one side of the window and also to provide adjustment wherebythe curtain can be held in diiferent adjiistments. This object, togetherwith other objects readily apparent to those skilled in the art, may beattained by the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings,although the invention may be embodied in other forms, the constructionillustrated being chosen by way of example.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a front view of awindow provided with curtains showing my improved brackets properlyconnected to the window casing and the curtains spaced from each otherat their lower ends. Fig. 2 is a detached perspective view of thebracket.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughoutall the figures of the drawing.

In the accompanying drawings 1 represents the spaced bracket members,and 2 the integral joining member, said bracket members being providedwith the screw receiving eyes 3. To the tie or joining member 2 ispivotally attached the swinging member 4, which is pivotally connectedby means of the wire being wrapped around the tie member 2, said wirebeing wrapped in such a manner that the member 4 will be frictionallyheld in the position placed, regardless of any position within itsmovement. To the member 4 is pivotally attached the curtain holdingbracket 5, which bracket is hook shaped and is so formed for the purposeof receiving the folds of the curtain and holding the curtain againstdisplacement. F or the purpose of giving a pleasing appearance the outerend of the bracket 5 may be provided with any desired ornamentation suchas the star 6, but I prefer to form the entire curtain holding bracketof wire and of a single piece.

For the purpose of preventing any tilting of the curtain holding bracketit is connected to the member 4: by means of the arms 7, a portion ofthe wire making up said arms being wrapped tightly around the swingingmember 4.

It will be understood that by the compound pivotal movement as betweenthe fixed member 1 and the curtain holding bracket 5 I am enabled toprovide a wide range of adjustment for the curtain holding bracket 5.

Having fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is:

In a curtain holding bracket, the combination of a bracket memberadapted to be secured to a window casing, an intermediate bracket memberpivotally and frictionally connected to the fixed bracket member, acurtain holding bracket pivotally and frictionally connected to theintermediate bracket, said curtain holding bracket pro vided with ahooked outer free end.

In testimony that I claim the above, I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.
